01:41And you are?
01:44Yes, of course
01:45So, what's the story in BALAMORI?
01:49Well today in BALAMORI it's very misty
01:52Because it's a foggy day
01:59And everyone here is busy going to work and school
02:06So, I wonder what adventures we'll get up to today?
02:09Oh, what's this?
02:12It looks like a bone
02:15A rubber bone
02:17Oh, I remember now
02:20PC Plum brought this over for Eric
02:22He is a special guide dog who belongs to Anne
02:26Who's Edie's next door neighbour
02:27Anne is bringing Eric in later
02:30To see the children
02:32Ah, there's the school bus
02:35I wonder who will be coming to the BALAMORI nursery today
02:38Hi Helen
02:39And Robbie
02:41Hi Matthew
02:42It's Leah
02:43And Natalie
02:45And who else I wonder
02:47And you
02:48Join in the fun too
02:52Everybody, everyone
02:55Come inside and join the fun
02:58Listening, laughing, watching, thinking, copying, giggling
03:04Make a funny face
03:08Everybody, everyone
03:09Come inside and join the fun
03:12Oh, here's your tail
03:13Ben, could you come in?
03:14Good boy
03:15Take your time
03:16Do you think that's it?
03:17Is that where you're going to stick it?
03:18Oh!
03:19Look it way up there!
03:23That's a boy
03:23Now, where do you think the tail should go?
03:26There
03:26There, good boy
03:27Press it on and you can have a look
03:29Oh!
03:31Sounds like we have a visitor
03:35I wonder who it can be
03:36I'll just go and see
03:37I'll give a sec
03:40Hello Archie
03:41Who said that?
03:43Oh, hello Miss Hoody
03:44Sorry, I can't see a thing without my glasses
03:46Oh, I think it all steamed up in the fog
03:48Quite, the fog's getting thicker and thicker
03:50Hello there
03:51Hi Archie!
03:52Hello everyone
03:53Come on through
03:54Righto
03:56Um
03:57I don't suppose you've seen my spare pair of glasses, have you?
04:00Err
04:01No, I don't think so
04:03Blithentons
04:03I can't think where I've left them
04:05You've still got your normal glasses
04:06Oh yes, but what if something happened to these?
04:09I'd be absolutely lost
04:10The whole of Ballamore would be a blur to me
04:11Well let's have a look for them then
04:17Aha!
04:19Found them?
04:20No, but this puncher could come in handy for an invention
04:23Take it
04:24Thanks
04:25Well, there's no sign of your spare glasses Archie
04:28What a nuisance
04:29I wonder where I did leave them
04:31Maybe you should go and see PC Plum
04:33Someone might have found them and handed them in
04:35Miss Hoody, you're a genius
04:37I'll pop over and see him straight away
04:39Toodle pip
04:39Bye
04:42So, which coloured house do you think Archie will visit first today?
04:49Can you see all the different coloured houses sitting by the sea?
04:54Well there's part of the story in Ballamoreas which is the house for me
05:01Is it yellow?
05:02Is it pink?
05:03Is it orange?
05:05What do you think?
05:06Is it red, green, blue or white?
05:09Which coloured house do you think is white?
05:18Which coloured house are we going to?
05:20Tell me what do you think?
05:23Which coloured house are we going to?
05:26Tell me what do you think?
05:29It's the white house
05:31Yes, it's the white house
05:33Because that's where PC Plum lives
05:37There
05:38If you wear this lot
05:39Everyone will spot you a mile off
05:42Oh!
05:44Except for Archie
05:45Oh well, so much for be safe be seen
05:48I'm terribly sorry Plum, it's just wiping the fog off my glasses
05:52Oh I say
05:53What's all this?
05:54Oh, I'm giving a talk on road safety at the school later
05:57This is to show what you should wear when you're riding your bike
06:00To let the driver see you
06:02Good show
06:04Especially on a foggy day like today
06:06Exactly
06:07So did you want something Archie?
06:09Oh yes
06:09I was wondering if anyone had handed in my spare pair of glasses
06:12I've lost them
06:13I'm afraid not Archie
06:16Fiddlesticks
06:16I can't think where I left them
06:18I know I had them earlier
06:18I know
06:19Why don't you go through everything you've done today
06:22And that may help you remember
06:23Marvellous idea

09:03Archie!
09:04Oh, there you plumbers
09:05Er, no need for you to come to the shop too
09:06I was just asking Susie for your biscuits
09:08Oh
09:08Oh, steady on plumbers
09:11Are you alright down there Susie?
09:13I found the biscuits alright
09:15Oh no, don't worry, I'll pay for these, I insist
09:17Er, how much are these Susie?
09:20Archie, this is just a dummy
09:21Plumbers, that is not a very nice thing to say about Susie
09:24No, no, this is my road safety dummy
09:27You're not in the shop Archie
09:30Aren't I?
09:31No, you're in the police station
09:33Oh, I see what's happened
09:36You've got lost in the fog and walked round in a circle
09:38Oh, to make matters worse
09:41I've broken my glasses
09:43Oh
09:44It's rather awkward
09:48Oh
09:49Hello, Balamory Police Station
09:50PC Plum speaking
09:51Oh, hello Miss Hooley
09:54Oh great, you've found Archie's spare glasses
09:58Oh
09:59Just in time to
10:01Right, thanks for letting us know Miss Hooley
10:03Bye
10:04Good news Archie, Miss Hooley's found your spare glasses
10:07Oh, splendid
10:09Archie, I'm over here
10:10Oh, hello there
10:11Right then, I'll just pop down to the nursery
10:13Oh, Archie
10:15Oh, no, you're not in a fit state to go anywhere
10:17Not in this fog and not with your glasses broken
10:20Sit down here
10:21There you go
10:22But I really need my glasses
10:24Well, you need someone to take you there
10:26But who in Balamory can get me to the nursery in this fog?
10:30I know
10:31No
10:31I'll phone Edie McCready
10:42I'm Edie McCready
10:44I'm Edie McCready
10:44I love to drive
10:46Hop aboard my bus
10:47Enjoy the ride
10:49Doors are open
10:51So step inside
10:53It's the day to have some fun
10:55Plenty of room for everyone
10:58When I honk my horn
11:01Step inside
11:03Step inside
11:05Now if you can't sit still then hold on tight
11:08We're rolling down the room

11:13Got a song we love to sing
11:15We're rolling down the room
11:17If you need to find somewhere
11:21I can take you there

11:30Edie McCready
11:31Just call Edie
11:32Ooooooo
11:43Hello, Edie McCready
11:45Hello Edie
11:46It's Archie
11:48Hello, Archie
11:49So, what's the story in Balamori?
11:51Will
11:56I went to see Miss Hooley to ask if I'd left my spare glasses at the nursery
12:00but had no luck
12:02So I called into the police station and asked Plumbers if anyone had handed them in
12:07Plumbers was busy getting his dummy ready for his talk on road safety
12:10We went over my movements so far today and he suggested that I might have left my spare glasses at
12:15the shop
12:16I tried to find my way there in the fog but got lost and instead I ended up back at
12:19the police station
12:20Then I broke my glasses and got in a muddle
12:23Luckily Miss Hooley phoned from the nursery to say she's found my spare glasses
12:28So I was hoping you could drive me down to the nursery to pick them up
12:32Oh, I'm sorry Archie
12:34It would be far too dangerous to drive the bus especially now that the fog has got so thick
12:40Oh dear
12:41But I simply must have my spare glasses
12:43What should I do?
12:45Oh, I've got it
12:47Anne, my next door neighbour, is just about to leave for the nursery
12:52She's going to show the children her dog, Eric
12:55She'll pick you up on her way
12:56Oh, splendid, but...
12:58Won't Anne get lost in the fog too?
13:01Oh no
13:02She has Eric to help her
13:03Eric's a special guide dog
13:06He takes Anne everywhere
13:08Sounds just the person to help me
13:11Right, I'll just go and ask Anne now
13:13And you wait there
13:23Oh hello Anne, hello Eric
13:24Hello there
13:25Did you get Hiroki in the fog?
13:27Oh yes, thanks to Eric
13:30OK Archie, ready to go?
13:32Absolutely, the sooner I get my glasses back the better
13:35OK Archie, follow me and follow my voice
13:39Off we go
13:41Cheerio
13:41Cheerio, bye
13:55Bye
13:55Often kind of you to help Anne
13:56Happy to help?
13:58Right, now I think that the nursery is this way
14:02No Archie, I'm pretty sure it's this way, trust me
14:07Quite
14:11Keep up Archie
14:12Keep up Archie
14:15You sure this is the way, Anne?
14:17Mm-hmm, do trust me Archie
14:19Of course
14:20OK Archie, open the door
14:22OK
14:25Door open
14:31Oh hello Anne
14:32Hello Miss Hooley
14:33Hello Eric
14:34Oh I've got a bone for you to play with later
14:38Hello Archie, have you come for your spare glasses?
14:41Yes
14:41Here
14:42Oh
14:45Oh that's better
14:46You two take your coats off, all the children are dying to see Eric
14:51Alexie
14:52Hello
14:53Hi
14:53OK everyone, say roll to hand
14:57Hello
14:58Hello boys and girls
14:59Do you know what sort of dog Eric is?
15:03Somebody's blind, he smiles
15:04He helps and see
15:06Yes, you're right, he's a guide dog
15:08Now Eric has a lot of things to do because he takes me shopping
15:12And we might go and visit some friends
15:14And what else do you think he has to do?
15:17Guide
15:17Guide
15:18And he does it very well
15:20If you meet Eric in the street you wouldn't just come up and say
15:24Hello Eric
15:25Because he would stop thinking about the job he was supposed to be doing
15:31Do you think Eric gets a play time?
15:33Yeah
15:34And he wears a special collar when he's playing
15:37Oh look how he got up
15:38It's a big dog
15:40We'll put his special collar on shall we?
15:43He's got a bell on his collar so I can hear him
15:46Would you like to ask any questions about Eric?
15:49Why do dogs bark?
15:51They bark so that people can hear where they are
15:54Would you mind telling us what it's like not being able to see?
15:57The best thing is to play that game we spoke about
16:00Good idea
16:01Excuse me I said Kerry
16:02Okay
16:03Now the game that Anne is talking about is a special feeling game with your hands
16:08Rachel could you come and sit here for me?
16:11Okay then
16:11Now I need everybody to watch
16:12Now I need you to shut your eyes very very tight for me
16:15And I in a minute I'm going to put one of your nursery friends in front of you here
16:20And you have to tell me who it is
16:23Just by using your hands
16:25Chloe
16:26How do you know?
16:28How did you know?
16:30Don't give it away now Chloe
16:31Shut your eyes nice and tight
16:32Joy keep your eyes nice and shut
16:33Ben
16:35Have a wee feel, see what kind of hair they've got
16:38Oh sorry
16:39What kind of hair this person's got
16:42Ben
16:44That's it
16:45You just try and guess
16:46Really try and guess
16:49Keep your eyes shut
16:50Now tell me what you feel
16:53Troy?
16:54How did you know it was Troy?
16:55Because I feel these hair
16:57I think this is my office
17:05So where's my cupboard?
17:08Oh!
17:09I bumped into my desk
17:10It's not easy to move around when you can't see
17:14So what was the story in Balamori?
17:18Well
17:21It was awfully foggy today in Balamori
17:24Archie came to the nursery to look for his spare pair of glasses
17:28But he couldn't find them
17:31PC Plum told Archie to look for his spare glasses at Susie and Penny's shop
17:38Archie set off but he got lost in the fog and ended up back at the police station where he
17:43broke his normal glasses
17:45I phoned PC Plum to say that I'd found Archie's spare glasses at the nursery
17:50But how could he get here in the fog?
17:53Edie McCready had the answer
17:55Her neighbour Anne and her guide dog Eric would come to the police station to pick up Archie
18:01They guided him through the foggy Balamori streets to reach the nursery
18:06And we learnt all about how Eric helps Anne, whatever the weather
18:15And I'll see you soon
18:17Bye!
18:18Bye!
